You have to say that rocking Carl Orffs O Fortuna as kick off anthem gives you goosebumps

still out recovering from covid good team. strongest we can field given the circumstances. Rüdiger is better suited to this game than AC, Tomori, cos he is rapid, combative and tall. Zouma and Rüdiger are prone to brainfart moments all game, so we will surely concede but we are less likely to concede from set pieces and counter attacks with this defence. That being said, ouroffence has to win us the games. We need at least 2 goals, probably rather 3 so better start scoring them early. Even without Kai, pulisic we have plenty of firepower so it is all about being clinical once more.

Not so sure. If he would play for manure or pool sure. But for the Fa and the refs city are just as much the Enemy as we are. also, sure there will be cards but that only makes the defenders wanting to tackle him harder and cleaner every time so it is at least worth it.

the only good thing is that it will block one of their shitload of other wc players. they have more than enough attackers anyway. possibly can see him playing false 9 with Agüero gone. But IMO, starting late last season, Messi is clearly into decline. He has started to miss more and more chances that he used to score blindly before, his pace is gone. He will continue to score with freekicks and stuff but he will not be the dominant force he once was. Some PL defenders will maul him just for the sake of it and he has shown he doesnt like being hanled like that. This year or last, maybe an investment in him might still be worthwhile. but next summer when he is 24, I would not even want my club to be paying his wages. If Puli can stay injury free for a single season, I bet he would be on a higher level than 34 y.o. Messi. I would say thatm arguably, right now Salah, Mane are on a higher level than Messi anyway and soon enough we will be able to add quite a few more players to that list.

It’s right. Robben missed more games than Pulisic last season only twice while the pandemic have Puli a look in. I will now treat every game we get out of Puli as bonus. We need another left winger.

So stupid. South Gate is basically starting his first 11 bar Chilwell in a dead rubber. Joke of a manager

He does deserve to have his wish but my loyalty is always to the club. If we need him I could not care less if he goes to the euros or not. Deachamps is so in love with him he will nominate him anyway I guess. And I think one reason for his old body still being strong enough is that he always turns up for int football well rested. If by January we look only remotely like challenging for a title we should no way let him go. An experienced back up like Olie is exactly what can make the difference between a title and no title

Really hope Pep leaves and gets replaced by a completely inadequate manger who ruins their development lol. Dont see it happening. The sheiks sadly know what they are doing. their club is run superbly.

Most injuries will come at the business end of the season after the accumulation of fixtures. That is when we will need him. I think it would be foolish to let him go just now. He knew what he was doing when signed a other extension. I am confident he will get his minutes in the busy festive schedule and surely next year.

Thank fuck I am not watching or caring any more. If I were DFB I would have Sacked Löw in 2016 tho. No new impulses since.

If Conor is smart he will develop his defensive side further. Becoming Kante’s successor is probably the easiest way into the side as long as the Rice deal is not sealed.

God please no. Alonso situation 2.0

Really far from idea given we are expected to challenge for titles next season. Will need a top back up goalie to be blooded in by then.

What a move. But tbf Mason was not Kais man there. No16 should have done better. And covered the inside not the outside. What a shot tho

Deschamps should become Girouds agent if he is so keen on brokering moves for him. Incredible. Never seen a manager so repeatedly and brazenly ramble about other clubs transfer business.

The worst ist they now have packed 3 games into the 2 week int break instead of the usual 2 in a season where there is nothing to qualify. just this pathetic nations league. i would renuinely consider resigning from int duty as a player with this BS as long as they are exploited like this. I mean do not even know anyone who watches these deadrubber tinpot competiiton. It is completely worthless.

As predicted we will contest this game with a squad ravaged with injuries thanks to the intl break. Without Silva and Chilwell this will be a hard piece of work. Just like vs Southampton we will probably concede stupid goals with Rüdiger/Christensen and Alonso/Emerson crippling our backline. With Azpi at LB we will be toothless offensively on the left which is vital for our matchplan but we will see.

Called it. The internationals are at fault that we wont be competing for titles this season. we dont have the quality in depth. Chilwell is one of the holy trinity. With all of them fit we can beat anybody but as soon as one is out (or more likely too as silva will probably be rested), the rest collapses.

Common thing having a 39 years younger brother^^

Mount and Abraham reportedly already had the Corona virus, so probably are immune now On a different note I am so sick of the English media constantly confusing the virus with the disease. Covid-19 is a disease, not a virus. Hence, you can not test positive for Covid-19. You can only test positive for the Sars-Cov-2 or as commonly referred to Corona-Virus. Jeez how can professional journalists get this wrong every time.

Proud to announce i have so far managed to stay completely off grid and not even check results of any int game. My goal is too completely fast sports media that is not Chelsea specific for the full int break. After becoming veggie and starting to excerise daily this is probably my toughest routine challenge yet 😄

Still a needless risk to take. Could just have chilled with Kai in Cobham

just great. infected by a useless player in a usefless friendly Vida is a completely pointless anyway. probably the worst defender i have ever seen in a wc final. aint tall, can't jump, can't tackle, is slow, has poor positioning and has the most unflattering haircut you can have with such a horse face and pattern hair loss.

Rewatched the highlights and still can’t explain his terrible error leading to the Sheff goal. Ziyech has clearly told him where to go and he just stood there. Inexplicable. But I guess every players has his brain fart moments. Maybe a sign of being gassed. Hopefully he gets back healthy from the damn nt

Typical British suicide mission to give yourself a harder time than everyone else. Not sure if the sub rule has anything to do with Gomez injury tho. CBs very rarely get subbed out, esp not in a match on the edge like their last few league games were Anyway. with gomez out, pool have lost their 2 best cbs for possibly the full season. We should really take advantage of that. if we get our shit together like we did for the past few games we can go far in the league.
